“That’s right. During the period I was away, I was busy getting this identity.” A playful smirk appeared on Huangfu Qingjue’s perfect, exquisite face. “Why? Did you think that I had lied to you and therefore felt incredibly sad about it and then started scolding me badly in your heart and telling yourself that I am a disappointing heartbreaker?”
“Oh, please! Stop talking nonsense, you!” exclaimed Ling Chuxi as her face reddened slightly. She glared at Huangfu Qingjue and spat, “You think too much!” Frankly, Ling Chuxi did not think that the truth would be as such. She had indeed initially thought that Huangfu Qingjue was someone from the Deity Temple. She didn’t think that things were not as she thought they were.
“Oh, yeah. Did Little White return?” asked Huangfu Qingjue, suddenly changing the topic.
“Yes, indeed. It was just as you said. Little White really did return. However, he left again soon after,” replied Ling Chuxi with a sigh as she helplessly rested her chin on the table.
“He will definitely return again. You do not need to worry,” said Huangfu Qingjue with a smile as he sat down by Ling Chuxi’s side.
“Yes, I think so too. Sometimes I really am curious as to what exactly Little White is. I feel like he’s too smart for a wild beast. However, he is not a monster beast or a spirit beast either,” said Ling Chuxi. She added on in distress, “He comes and goes without a trace and never even bothers if I miss him or not. Really not cute of him at all!”
“No need to mind this. Didn’t you say that your Little White is one of a kind and incomparable? He will naturally return to you,” said Huangfu Qingjue as he looked at the unhappy, tangled expression on Ling Chuxi’s face. His seemed to be delighted by this as he advised her with his lips curved upwards into an arc of a smile.
“Yes, that is true. My Little White is naturally one of a kind and incomparable,” agreed Ling Chuxi upon hearing Huangfu Qingjue’s compliments and happily nodded. Suddenly, she frowned as she looked at Huangfu Qingjue and said, “Huangfu Qingjue. Just as I’m curious as to what exactly Little White is, I am also curious as to who exactly you are. You also appear and disappear without a trace. Furthermore, you are so strong, but I have never heard of you. Now, you are even the Divine Messenger of the Deity Temple. Such a position is of a very high rank in the Deity Temple, isn’t it? Not only have you obtained an identity so easily, you’ve managed to obtain an identity with such a high status attached to it. Who exactly are you?”
“I’m yours,” answered Huangfu Qingjue plainly and directly. There was not the least bit of hesitation or unnecessary filler words in his reply.
Ling Chuxi choked and was speechless. She knew she would not gain any information from asking Huangfu Qingjue about things right now. ‘I’ll just let it be for now. Since he does not wish to speak about it, no matter how much I ask, I will never get an answer. When he wishes to talk about it, he will naturally tell me.’
Ling Chuxi did not say anything more. Huangfu Qingjue asked with a smile, “Little Chuxi, have you ever thought of entering the Deity Temple? The Deity Temple seems to have quite a lot of special privileges for its members. If you wish to join them to come over and play, I can also create a position for you.”
“No, thanks. I’m not interested,” replied Ling Chuxi as she waved her hand in disdain. “There are many people who believe in the Deity Temple in this world, but too bad, I’m not one of them.”
“Oh? Then what is your belief?” asked Huangfu Qingjue after he heard Ling Chuxi’s words. He shifted slightly. ‘This world. What did Chuxi mean by those words? It was as if she was not someone of this world. Could it be…’ Huangfu Qingjue began having doubts in his heart, but his expression remained calm as he asked Ling Chuxi about what her belief was with a smile.
“My belief is myself,” said Ling Chuxi with a grin as she raised her brows. “There is no deity in this world. Even if there is one, I’m sure he or she would be very busy. Where would they find the time to bother about us mortals. Am I not right?”
When Huangfu Qingjue heard Ling Chuxi’s words, he was stunned at first, then he started laughing. Her words were always so shocking. However, wasn’t this why she was his Little Chuxi? Different from the masses and truly unique was Little Chuxi indeed!
